Swapped the hardware on the post yet?

I don't think I admired the new saddle when you came round the other day - nice.

Edit: Although, actually, I think it was already on when I saw it the time before, wasn't it?

Nice build.
Think I remember admiring it as it was parked outside the Steyning jumble a while back.
This week has made me realise I need some proper 27" mudguards - what are those and where did you get them?

Bluemels Club Special

a good man for mudguards
just don't steal the silver ones he's keeping for me

Yes it was at Steyning. Did we chat?

aah no, not finished then, 2 hours and an adjustable spanner await

^^Thanks.
Don't think I stayed long at that jumble - wasn't much there from what I recall.

I apologise for forgetting about it, but here's the proper photo of your Mercian;

oooh, memories

When i get round to it i'm going to strip the Campag off this and replace with 1970 period kit

Mafac Brakes
Simplex or maybe Huret gears
Low flange Airlite wheels
TA chainset
TA front rack (extra wide version) onto the Mafac front brake
Kashimax Rain Tail and Five Gold Saddle
